HAX by Andrewves

[raw]
made by Andrewves for LD26 (JAM)
Unfortunately i only had time to spend around a day and a half on this but I'm happy with how it turned out.

In the game you are a computer virus that has to collect data from streams to attack a PC with, anti virus streams also fly by that you must dodge or risk data. There are 4 different forms the player changes too as you gain data, with the final being at 2500mb.

Controls: Up and down arrow keys or W,S to move, right arrow or D to dash and escape to pause.

That was surprisingly fun; and the difficulty ramped nicely at the end. At first I thought it was just going to be boring, but I started to get emotionally involved at the end! cool! This also reminds me of "music video" animation thing I did in college. Yay =D

I'm a sucker for "haxory" games/themes. This was quite fun. Nice entry.

The space invaders dude looked great, and I liked the data explosion at the end when you reach the computer.

fun game, well done - I liked everything about it, although it could use some fast paced music.

the difficulty ramped up nicely and the changing space invader sprite is a great idea

well done :)

Nice! I was playing it at first not realising I could go up or down freely, and thought I was jumping between each line. Once I realised I could just go up or down freely - it became a lot easier. :D

Simple idea and nice realisation. I would love a much higher difficulty (like at the end of the level).
Nice!

I liked it!
Could be nice to add a boost, or make the level shorter.
Funny idea :)

Neat idea, I couldn't get the "dash" ability to work though. :/ Some music and sound effects would've been nice. I liked that it became harder the further you traveled.

Nice idea. Dodging the red lines got progressively more difficult. Using right arrow or D to dash didn't seem to have any effect on the game though.

Interesting. Didnt find it that fun or challenging. Nice work anyway.

Fun to play. Nice and Simple. One of the best games I've seen so far.
